In his season prediction article, Merkin mentioned that it’s possible Meidroth could force his way into the starting lineup at either second base or third base, pushing Josh Rojas to the other spot and forcing either Miguel Vargas or Bryan Ramon into the designated hitter role. However, Merkin also suggests that, if Meidroth can’t force his way into the lineup, he could be “considered someone who could play three or four times per week.” Given that the 23-year-old posted a .437 on-base percentage, .293 average, and .837 OPS over 93 games at Triple-A last year, he could be a sneaky late pick in deeper formats if he were to earn a full-time job.
